Teaching is much more than talking and communicating. We have to be patient, empathetic, caring, and above all be a good listener. I think most stutterers are great at these things given our own perso...

How was your experience with Ross? I found him to be really knowledgeable and a master of targets. Sadly, it didn’t help too much this time around. I am too old, I think ....

You never cure it as I mentioned. What you're doing is you're controlling it through exercises that you are taught in the respective Therapies. Mine, the pfsp focused on breathing and mental awareness...

Sorry my answer took so long. I wish you all the best. I'm still hopeful I can maybe turn this around with therapy....

It was an accepted method at the time. The 'logic' being that if you could control your fake stutter, you'd eventually be able to control your real stutter. Massive failure....

My stuttering has gotten a LOOOOT worse! Like, I’m extremely severe. The last time I took was in 2014, I was 33 years old. I had a much harder time that time . I think it’s because I was older. The fi...

No, your not. I was 21. I've seen people who take that course and they're in their 50s it's never too old believe me I think people take it twice. The reason why I stuck with it I went to the refreshe...

How old were you when you went? The first time I went, it helped a lot. The second time, not really, sadly. I am too old now ....

SLP as well. I feel like there are more than a few of us like that....

Thank you for this post!!! I have read many journal articles and discussed this with some of the leading speech pathology professors in Australia (who also collaborate with researchers internationally...

I have participated in many of the discussions but I am not sure if I am part of the community...

Okay, are you part of the stuttering SLP community? It’s fairly small and everyone knows everyone. I am trying to see if we know each other!...

I've tried breathing exercises in past therapies but unfortunately they never really did much for me. Speech tools to actually manage the stuttering in combination with things like reading aloud and m...

I've been here a short while and it seems to me that this sub is completely pointless. Does group therapy work like that, you're not allowed to say how you feel because it might be viewed by others as...

If they have, they should try again if they still feel that way. Not all therapists work. I've been there and it's not usually easy, but they'll eventually find the perfect psychologist for them....

this is EXACTLY what happens to me, and I don’t know what to do. Did you end up finding anything that helped? It’s the exact same for me, it’s worse in large group settings (and if i’m in the back of ...

This is such a kind and thoughtful post, your friend is really lucky to have someone who cares this deeply. I’m a speech therapist, and honestly, the way you’re thinking about this already shows the r...

I’ve been trying to hide my stuttering for 11 years, from others and even from myself. Now I’ve been seeing a speech therapist for two months, and my mind feels lighter. Thanks for your reply. I’m gla...

I agree because therapists and ppl in general who don't stutter will never know how we feel. They can only give us advice backed with research....

It made my life hell growing up and when I was in my nation's Army as a Combat Medic/Paratrooper. Now I'm at the point in my life where I can stutter and not really care. I'm currently an adjunct prof...
